From Publishers Weekly

Murakami's latest is a nonfiction work mostly concerned with his thoughts on the long-distance running he has engaged in for much of his adult life. Through a mix of adapted diary entries, old essays, reminiscences and life advice, Murakami crafts a charming little volume notable for its good-natured and intimate tone. While the subject matter is radically different from the fabulous and surreal fiction that Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle) most often produces, longtime readers will recognize the source of the isolated, journeying protagonists of the author's novels in the formative running experiences recounted. Murakami's insistence on focusing almost exclusively on running can grow somewhat tedious over the course of the book, but discrete, absorbing episodes, such as a will-breaking 62-mile ultramarathon and a solo re-creation of the historic first marathon in Greece serve as dynamic and well-rendered highlights. Murakami offers precious little insight into much of his life as a writer, but what he does provide should be of value to those trying to understand the author's long and fruitful career. An early section recounting Murakami's transition from nightclub owner to novelist offers a particularly vivid picture of an artist soaring into flight for the first time. (Aug.)

In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.

Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.

By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.

之所以对这本书感兴趣,其实更大程度上是因为跑步本身,而并非村上。这一点,相信许多原本有过类似长跑经验的想必都有如此体会,说起来,跑步这一种运动难免过于私人,过于自我。 我是在初中在同学到鼓动下开始个人的跑步历程的,原本就是喜欢运动的人,有了同伴于是大多放学后...

读村上的书读了十年之后,我开始发现,自己已经不能再轻易地对别人说“是的,我很喜欢村上春树”。村上春树到底是个什么样的作家?作为一个被林少华译本启蒙的村上读者,在读完了村上春树所有作品的林少华译本、并认真体会了赖明珠的译本之后,我开始对这个问题越来越疑惑...

我不是老林的粉丝,不过对比一下,还是老林的好。 施自身的语文水准没有老林高,行文有风格不统一,杂糅,啰嗦的毛病。 比如,“对于长期作业实在至为重要”,这个实在+至为太累赘,我不知道是不是村上自己在这么强调,翻译的时候有没有必要这么强调。(有一个双重强调的常用...

入夜八点二十,街边大排档刚刚开摆,马路旁的树纹丝不动。换上运动内衣,短裤,穿袜子,找MP3,蹬上跑鞋,一切准备就绪,启动。 不是出门就跑的,因为门前横冲直撞的汽车无数,小区门口还有堆大妈眼神锐利来回打望,MP3播放的是张力十足的妹式情歌,帮忙长气势用。走了十分钟...

去年十月,去公共图书馆看书,看到一本《大智若驴》,作者说他坐在草地上看毛驴吃草,这简直是一种心灵疗法。一月份去公共图书馆借书,看到一本《散步是一门失传的艺术》,讲到如何通过散步来平衡自己的人生。三月份去公共图书馆看书,看到一本村上春树写的《当我跑步时我谈些...

很喜欢这本书,正好解答了这段时间一些困惑,有的时候书也是一种缘分,就像在适当的时候遇到了对的人,希望有天我也能像他那么了解自己,知道自己的limits在哪,知道自己喜欢什么,不刻意为之,而是顺其自然,为自己定制一种lifestyle。
